I just wanted to share a few of my favorite red lipsticks with you.....

My ultimate fave.....Lime Crime velvetines lipstick - red velvet.

This lipstick is amazing hence why it sells out straight away. It goes on like a lip gloss and dries to a perfect velvety matt finish, its the longest lasting lipstick I have ever had, its smudge proof, waterproof and kiss proof, the only thing its not is oil proof! If your eating anything which is even slightly oily then be aware that little bits will come off.

If it does wear off slightly then you can re apply without having the heavy tacky feeling you get with some long wear lipsticks.

A photo of me wearing it below.

Illamasqua - Sangers

This is a deep blood red, it has a matt finish but it isn't as drying as some matt lipsticks, so it goes on a lot smoother too because some can drag on your lips and look patchy! Always make sure your lips are not dry before you apply matt lipstick, you can buy lip scrubs to get rid of any dry patches.

Dita Von Teese, for Art Deco - Maitresse

Another deep rose red lipstick that claims to be matt but its not completely matt. Similar to the Illamasqua lipstick above but darker and with a bit more moisture to it. It lasts hours when used with the matching Art Deco liner as a base. The lip liner is also good on its own if you want a completely matt finish! I have a few other colours in this collection and all of them are highly pigmented!
